Interim Pastor (Part time)
Pastor
Rev. Ben Mann
Rev. Ben Mann (Pastor Ben) joins us to assist in our transition as a congregation. Change is hard but healing as a community is a worthy undertaking. Pastor Ben joins us after serving as Senior Pastor of MCC of the Rockies in Denver, Colorado as well as numerous other congregations inside and outside of the MCC. In addition, they have spent years working as a professional chaplain and recently moved to Portland to begin their career as a Licensed Professional Counselor. They hold advanced degrees in theology, management, and counseling from Baylor University, University of Missouri-Kansas City, and Central Baptist Theological Seminary.
During their time with MCC Portland, they hope to guide the community toward its next phase of ministry by helping work on healing and envisioning the type of congregation this church seeks to be. To connect with Pastor Ben individually, please reach out via email or the church office. They will be available on Sundays and by appointment. There will be gatherings and opportunities to connect outside of worship time as well.
